If any part of foot is in line with defender it should be onside. What difference would it make either the current system yours or going back to daylight between the players. As it’s a line call wherever you draw the line players will still be called offside by millimetres. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As it’s a line call wherever you draw the line players will still be called offside by millimetres. It'd make a huge difference. Right now, you have to be completely behind the defender to be on side. I'm suggesting that the any part of the foot just needs to be in line with defender to be onside. This week alone, it would've resulted in 3 goals being scored that were called offside that I saw. One of them took 3 minutes for VAR to decide it was offside, because the attacker was 1mm infront of defender. The benefit should go to the attacking team. The point of offside rule wasn't to punish the attacking team. It was to stop cherrypicking. Being 1mm offside doesn't constitute cherrypicking.

"This has revived longrunning concerns that, despite the substantial funding provided by Sky’s investment in the rights to show cricket on television, it is undermining the broad appeal of the sport." How dare this article make the exact point about visibility that fans of cricket have been making for about 20 years. Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day.

DoubleD Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 20 hours ago, Mr Wind Up said: What concerns? I have no concerns about womens football getting the coverage it gets. I know fully why it’s getting its coverage, and it has little to do with clicks. Edit: And of course the Rooney Rule is more PC nonsense. But what annoys me most about it is that British reporters have adopted a name for it straight from gridiron. The Rooney Rule...named after..uh, Wayne? Mick? Oh, some nobody no Brit would recognise. Brill. And remember folks, in his own words, Sol Campbell is the best mind in football. Just needs to be given the keys to the Bernebeu to show us.

And that figure demonstrates how important the BBC is and can be for all sporting competitions. The BBC has given great support to the WWC, whether rightly or wrongly, but you can't argue against the viewing figures and the BBC's ability to boost them by the quality of its coverage. Thank goodness the 2021 RLWC is being broadcast by the BBC. It's our best chance for a breakthrough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The poor Thai goalkeeper looked like a 10 year old schoolgirl in that goal. She made a couple of good saves, genuinely I think she's a decent shot-stopper which is why she's in the goal. But, Christ, the defence fell apart time and time again. Credit to the USA for never even thinking about letting up though. Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day.

Bleep1673 Posted June 13, 2019 Author Share Posted June 13, 2019 Another bright idea from UEFA, hold the UEFA Super Cup between Liverpool and Chelsea in TURKEY! The season's curtain raiser will take place with the Community Shield between Liverpool and Manchester City at Wembley on Sunday, 4 August. Liverpool and Europa League winners Chelsea will also meet in the Uefa Super Cup in Istanbul, Turkey, on Wednesday, 14 August. Following that match, Liverpool play their second Premier League match, away to Southampton, while Chelsea host Leicester City. Wolves could have played three Europa League qualifying matches before the beginning of the Premier League season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
